Mentality

Personal history

He was initially picked out to be turned into a gnome due to the history of his family. However, he failed to show the same aptitude for magic growing up. He could do some simple spells like mage hand and that sort of thing, but certainly none of the skills of his siblings. This was a source of embarrassment for his family, as most of his siblings have gone on to be wizards and sorcerers
He still went through the process of being turned into a gnome. However, because of his lack of aptitude, his minders often neglected him and didn’t really pay attention to what he was doing, and left him to his own devices.
He often wandered the markets, challenging himself to see what he could steal
He also started taking odd jobs for merchants. Nothing too lethal, but just things like poisoning a competitor to give them stomach flu and miss important meetings, spying on incoming shipments, etc.
The more of these jobs he took on, the more he began to see the same attitudes in the merchant class that he saw in his family: the elitism, the wastefulness, the disregard for anyone they see as an obstacle to their own ambition
He struck out on his own, becoming sort of a Robin Hood figure. He still takes some jobs, but always skims a bit off the top to give to the local poor houses
He was running a front as a respectable leatherworker, but once the governors of the magical academy caught wind of his extracurricular activities, he left Gruthe and made his way south to a place where his skills would be more appreciated: Port Hren

Employment

Creston had several different employers when he lived in Gruthe.
Now that he has arrived in Port Hren, his main employers have been the Black Gallu and now Gainrahet.

Failures & Embarrassments

Becoming a gnome
Unofficially flunking out of magic school

Mental Trauma

His experiences with being neglected through childhood and being raised by the magic scholars has left Creston feeling like he can't trust anyone.

Intellectual Characteristics

Despite his perceived failures at performing magic, Creston is surprisingly intelligent
His time spent spying on people and performing other espionage-related tasks has developed his skills at reading people and lying to get his way out of sticky situations
Being subjected to the "temporal bullshit" of TBLT has caused Creston's mind to warp slightly; he is now capable of reading the thoughts of others and even (one-way) communicate with them telepathically

Morality & Philosophy

Creston tends to be very anti-authority.
He is not outright disrespectful to the presence of nobles, but feels that respect is earned not given.
He tries to be helpful to the downtrodden... it just happens that he is among the downtrodden, so he tends to help himself first.

Contacts & Relations

Orion: Creston explicitly trusts Orion with his life; probably the only person he trusts outside of his (now deceased) sisters. Also has a bit of a crush on Orion, but would never try anything because of Slem.
Barris: Empathizes with Barris, as he seems to similarly suffer under the weight of familial expectations (or lack thereof). Wishes to help Barris find his freedom to be himself.
Akabar: Respects Akabar's magical prowess and desire for freedom. Finds him a bit condescending at times. For the same reason he respects Akabar, doesn't fully trust him.
Slem: Dislikes Slem, thinks Orion could do better.
Necrost Spearforger: Thinks his brother is a fool for being blinded with ambition and seeking power for the sake of it. Pitied him to some extent for also suffering under the expectations of his father, but is now only filled with loathing for his brother after the murder of the family,
